| UniProt functional annotation for Q0PB48 | |||
| UniProt code: Q0PB48. |
| Organism: | Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni serotype O:2 (strain ATCC 700819 / NCTC 11168). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Epsilonproteobacteria; Campylobacterales; Campylobacteraceae; Campylobacter. | |
| Function: | Has been suggested to be involved in cytochrome c peroxidase or P450-like oxygen chemistry or cyanide detoxification. The high oxygen affinity of this protein suggests that it probably does not function as an oxygen transporter. | |
| Cofactor: | Name=heme; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:30413; Note=Binds 1 heme group per subunit; upon expression in E.coli it purifies predominantly in the Fe(2+)-oxy form, binding O(2) tightly even under anaerobic conditions.; | |
| Subunit: | Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16681372, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17023416}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305|PubMed:16339953}. | |
| Induction: | Constitutively expressed, it is further induced by S- nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16339953}. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Cells lacking this gene grow less well than wild- type under conditions of high aeration. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16339953}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the truncated hemoglobin family. Group III subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
